Originally posted on Rosamond Press: One of the readers of this blog gave me a heads-up about my ex-wife giving accounts of her relationship with Thomas Pynchon in the New York magazine. When I googled for a picture for this magazine, I came upon a ‘Fashion’ issue. On the cover was a woman with a…

Originally posted on Rosamond Press: On December 30th. I posted the following on Stefan Ein’s FB. He was going to have another party at his show. I wanted to be there. I was seeing signs of my impending death, and wondered if we were all going to die. After talking to my friend Amy Sargent…

I considered getting involved in preventing the Ken Kesey mural from being a disaster, but, I give up. Seven years ago, I used to belong to the Emerald Art Association, but, got put out on a rail…
